On one hand I agree, on the other hand - we want a distribution which
simply works and common choices are made (like which firewall) from the
distro side - a good enough Sysadmin can then change to his/her liking
afterwards. This is more or less a distro "philosophy" question, but
look why "Mint" has become so popular - because many choices are made
upfront for the user - yet the flexibility is in the system (and enough
packages) for an advanced user to change them!
As long as the default settings are documented upfront - I see no issue
in making such a decision on behalf of the "average" user - and making a
more security robust distribution.
BTW, there is no Mageia package for BlockHosts - but fail2ban and
DenyHosts there are packages . . .
Cheers,
Robert
